From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB CHI96LA305](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI96LA305), Aug 18, 1996: Taylorcraft 19 (N6630N), Shakopee, MN, substantial damage. Probable cause: failure of the right main landing gear shock strut due to internal corrosion. The restriction to inspection of the strut was a related factor.
